This is a cool little article about why the Pacific Northwest of the US has limited amusement parks and how it’s not just because of the weather.

    I finally made it to SFNE last year but it was unfortunately too late to ride theirs.

      I still gotta get out there at some point too. Too many coasters everywhere 😅

      Aftershock is especially interesting to me because it’s the one that was relocated from my home park, Six Flags Great America. I was never tall enough to ride it while it operated there (or maybe it was plagued with maintenance problems by the time I was).

        I honestly considered a career change to be a long haul truck driver just so I could end up in places closer to roller coasters that I want to ride 😉
